“The purpose of the PCTC is to bring businesses together, promote fellowship, and foster goodwill among Filipino and Canadian professionals and businessmen,” said PCTC president Jorge Miguel Marcó. “Music brings people together, and much business is conducted in social settings. So we see this as an excellent avenue for building productive business relations and networks.”
Alfredo Lagman, Jr., PCTC director and chairman of this project, adds that this event gives the Council the opportunity to meet multiple objectives.

“Autumn Serenade will feature multi-awarded artists from the Philippines and, thus, will help to promote world-class Filipino talent,” Lagman explained. “At the same time, it will enhance PCTC’s profile in the business community and help the Council raise much needed funds for its operations and programs for the year.”
Projects slated for the year include the ongoing PCTC Speaker Sessions, entrepreneurship forums, and joint activities with the various boards of trade.
